Annie's Law

As of this year, the state of Ohio passed Annie’s Law, directly affecting
drinking and driving laws. Prior to the passing of Annie’s Law,
OVI offenders were subject to mandatory minimum penalties dependent on
the person’s number of convictions. Facing any DUI conviction, whether
it is your 1st or simply one of many, is made even easier with the help of a Union County
criminal defense attorney you can trust, such as ours at Bridges, Jillisky
& Streng, LLC.

Annie’s Law has made significant changes as to how the state of Ohio
handles DUI convictions and consequences, including but not limited to
the following:

If you are a 1st time offender, you may be entitled to unlimited driving privileges with
the installation of an ignition interlock device (IID)

If a 1st time offender elects to install an IID in his or her vehicle, the judge
must suspend all pending jail time

Multiple offenders must face a longer license suspension

If the IID is installed, the judge has the option to reduce the license
suspension by 50%

Offenders must obtain a new driver’s license in use of the IID, and
failure to do so will result in mandatory jail time

All 1st time offenders and 2nd time offenders with a “low tier” breath, blood or urine test
no longer mandated by law to have yellow license plates in order for driving
privileges to be granted
